Save Me

Chapter 3-Hell

Tristan
The last bell for the day rang and I picked up my bag and rushed outside grateful to get away from this prison but from one hell to another.

Home, a place that should be a getaway, is instead the place I dread going the most. No one is ever home so I can do whatever I want. You might say this is freedom but this kind of freedom can get very lonely. Neglect, hate, low self esteem every of makes me more paranoid everyday.

I go straight to my room after the bus drops me off like I do every evening. I don't find homework necessary because I don't intend to live much longer anyway. I turn on my TV and begin to play GTA. This is my life boring, no excitement, no worth.

Natalie

I'm so tired, after two hours at the volleyball gym I'm totally worn out. Suddenly I hear my phone start to ring so obviously I answer but I'm very surprised to hear the voice of Ross who I have spoken to a few times after school.

"Hey Nat what's up?"

"How did you get my number ?"

"I got connections "

"You're a stalker"

"What no! Sherry gave it to me."

"Yh k, so why are you calling me?"

"Can't I call a friend to talk?"

"If we were friends sure."

"I'm hurt Nat, I feel neglected."

"I don't care, what do you want?"

"Nothing much, just wanted your opinion on someone..."

"Who..."

"Tristan."

"None of your business!"

"But I just needed to-"

"ITS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!!!"

"Alright alright no need to get all touchy about it."

"Um, I gotta go bye."

"Wait but-"

I ended the call with my heart pounding. Why did I react like that? I don't even know Tristan that well I've met him once and he seems like a freak, yet something about him intrigues me and I want to know more. So mysterious...

Tristan
In the haze of GTA I faintly heard the sound of a phone ringing and got up to answer it. I just recognized it was after 6 o'clock and outside was dark, wonder when that happened.

"Hello, I answered in a bored tone."

"Sup bestie," Ross said in a cheerful tone.

"Dude never call me that again."

"Yh whatever you say bestie," I could practically hear the smirk in his voice.

"What do you want?"

"Gosh why is everyone so rude today?"

"What do you mean every-"

"So anyway how's life?"

"Crappy same as always."

"Don't worry about that things are gonna get better."

"I really dont want to hear a sappy speech about hope right now."

"Ok fine. What if i told you I talked to the poor girl you're stalking and I have her phone number?"

"I'm not stalking anymore but if I was I'd ask for her number..."

"Why so you can freak her out on the phone?"

"Ross are you gonna help me or not?"

"Yh I will but you gotta be subtle about it."
